Posted on by Leave a comment

Clover Press has announced Reminiscent: Art of Zeronis, a stunning art book showcasing the signature work of one of the most celebrated character and concept artists in modern gaming—Paul “Zeronis” Kwon. The 152-page deluxe hardcover book presents a wide-ranging selection of Zeronis’s art across professional projects, fan art, and personal pieces. Featuring dynamic portraits, striking character concepts, and original designs, the book offers a rare look at Zeronis’ creative evolution and highlights his passion for storytelling through art. The crowdfunding campaign has passed its goal and runs until Friday, October 2 2026 12:00 AM EDT.

Paul Kwon, known professionally as Zeronis, is a concept artist specializing in character design for the video game industry. Zeronis attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, then later built his reputation at Riot Games, where he created fan-favorite League of Legends characters like Ahri, Vi, and Gwen, along with the widely beloved Star Guardian series and the virtual K-Pop group, K/DA. His work has since extended to major titles such as Honor of Kings and Arena of Valor. Known for his ability to fuse semi-realistic rendering with stylized design, Zeronis creates characters that feel both larger than life and emotionally grounded.

The upgraded edition of Reminiscent: Art of Zeronis is housed in a limited edition slipcase, and select tiers will also include exclusive print sets, sticker sheets, a collectible numbered lithograph, and high end acrylic prints, making this a must-have for fans, collectors, and aspiring artists alike.
